The White Gold version of this watch has a magnifier built into the date indicator which is one improvement I wish they did with all their Moonphase models.

Love how it hides the excess strap under the other side so no need for a keeper loop.
The only reason I got the steel bracelet is because here in the Mid-Atlantic the summers are HOT and HUMID and I'm a sweater. I would sweat that strap into oblivion in a matter of weeks this time of year (it's 96 and humid today for example).
The bracelet has a three slot on-the-fly micro adjustable clasp which I think equates to something like 5 mm of total adjustability. This makes for a nice fit and easy to adjust on hot or cold days.
If you have no interest in the leather strap you could go for the black SS model perhaps?

Thanks for the replies, guys. I really like the look of the blue dial. The black and blue both look great, but something about a moon phase on blue just seems right? I may consider it on the strap as well. Is the strap rubber on the bottom and leather on the top?
Thank you for the info regarding the micro adjustable clasp as well. Sounds like less adjustment than what is on my Seamaster, but some adjustment, which I believe is a necessity.
